Info for Jack Brymer Rediscovered: Brahms & Weber (Remastered)

Jack Brymer's work is well represented on record as an outstanding orchestral player and concerto soloist. He also made appearances directing The London Wind Soloists on the Decca label in the 1960s, notably in the five LP set of Mozart Complete Wind Music (1963). But of his recital work with piano there is very little apart from a Discourses LP release, and the Nimbus album recorded in October 1973 and released in 1979. This recital contained two cornerstones of Brymer's repertoire, one or both of them invariably included in virtually every concert he gave, Weber's 'Grand Duo Concertant' and Brahms' F minor Sonata. The album remained in the catalogue until Nimbus closed it's LP manufacturing in the early 1980s. The present issue is the first reissue in any format. The session notes show an entirely trouble-free couple of days. They include ideas for further projects, listing music by Schubert, Brahms, Poulenc and Hindemith, but no return visits occurred at this time.

Jack Brymer
Jack's work is extensively documented, both as an exceptional orchestral pianist and as a concerto soloist. He also conducted the London Wind Soloists for Decca in the 1960s, notably for the five-disc vinyl set of Mozart's complete works for wind instruments (1963). In contrast, very few recordings of his piano recitals exist, apart from one vinyl record on the Discourses label and the Nimbus album recorded in October 1973 and released in 1979. This recital included two major works from Brymer's repertoire, one or both of which were staples in almost all his concerts: Weber's "Grand Duo Concertant" and Brahms's Sonata in F minor. The vinyl record remained in the catalog until Nimbus ceased vinyl production in the early 1980s. This edition is the first reissue, across all formats. The session notes indicate that the two days of recording proceeded without incident. They include ideas for future projects, citing works by Schubert, Brahms, Poulenc, and Hindemith, but no follow-up visits took place at that time.
